If you get any problems post up your specs and we can advice you on the best action to take!

Oh and get a better heatsink first otherwise you wont be going nowhere!

Crazy, you have 2 different brands of RAM on the same MOBO!

You can definatley overclock p4s, normally ppl get them to around 4-4.5ghz

indeed not sure how constructive that would be for overclocking. With the price of DDR2 these days it cant hear to change this to a single manufacturer!!
